DAILY:DIRECTION, the new boy group under the agency ODDWAVE, has officially unveiled its complete six-member lineup. From January 19 to January 24, 2026, the group introduced one member daily through its official social media channels, showcasing a unique promotional approach prior to its formal debut. The final roster consists of Jang Yunseok, Lim Jihwan, Kim Joohyong, Lee Wonwoo, E-VAN, and leader EN KIM. The sequential reveal began with Jang Yunseok on Monday, followed by Lim Jihwan on Tuesday, Kim Joohyoung on Wednesday, Lee Wonwoo on Thursday, E-VAN on Friday, and concluded with EN KIM on Saturday.
The group has drawn significant attention as several members have previously appeared on popular competitive survival programs. Lee Wonwoo is a former contestant of Mnet’s 'Boys 2 Planet', and EN KIM, the group's leader, previously participated in 'NCT Universe : LASTART'. This blend of experienced survival show participants and fresh talent defines the group's identity. During the introduction phase, each member presented a distinct visual concept. Jang Yunseok displayed a friendly and mischievous charm, while Lim Jihwan projected a charismatic and intense aura. Kim Joohyoung expressed a dreamy and ethereal mood, and Lee Wonwoo left a strong impression with his unique visual presence. E-VAN showcased a sensory casual style with unique points, and EN KIM concluded the reveals by portraying a deep and sophisticated atmosphere.
The team name, DAILY:DIRECTION, signifies that "daily choices accumulate to create each person's direction." Rather than following a predetermined path, the group aims to forge its own narrative through a process of trial, error, and personal choice. Their agency, ODDWAVE, is a new creative production led by CCO Park So Hee, who has a notable background as a creative director for major projects involving aespa, LE SSERAFIM, Stray Kids, and ZEROBASEONE. DAILY:DIRECTION plans to continue releasing teaser content to build anticipation for their official debut and further reveal the group's worldview.
